Population Pyramids

For this assignment you're going to construct population pyramids using data from Canadian
censuses.

Using the information provided on the spreadsheet (the attached version at the bottom is more neatly formatted) or the population pyramid handout, construct a population pyramid. The
pyramid should have two sets of data on it. Notice that the data from 2016 census is listed in percentages while the data from the other years is in
straight numbers. You're going to have to convert the numbers to percentages in
order to compare the two sets of data. The teacher will explain
how.

For each age group, show the data from the 2016 census.

For each age group show the data from an earlier census. The
teacher will help you decide which year you'll do since (hopefully) all the
different years will get done by different students.

Do each year in a different color ON THE SAME POPULATION
PYRAMID.

When you've done this, try to answer a few questions.

The two different sets of data made different graphs. How are
they different?

Since both graphs are about Canadian population, you can assume
something changed. What?

Why did this change occur?

What does this tell you about Canada today versus Canada in
years gone by?
